She also writes her own stories about dragons and their brave girl trainers. She watches movies about them whenever she can find ones that cast dragons in a favorable light. She doesn't like stories that stage dragons as the beast to be conquered. She feels that dragons are misunderstood creatures with powers that need to be respected, not feared. She's as adamant about this as she is about not eating food that is shaped like animals. Love this kid.
And as if this isn't enough dragon-filled fun for one young girl, she also makes clay dragons. Constantly. She's gifted almost everyone in our family with their own personal dragon, and she has plenty left over to guard her bedroom.
Some of her first clay dragons.
My personal favorite one besides the one she made for me (which I failed to photograph for this post).
Oh, how I love these sweet dragons. And how I love my little dragon girl.

Gorgeous.
Sometimes I feel misunderstood with an enormous dog, bigger than me, the animal who gets on my last nerve leaning on me, sleeping in front of cupboards I have to open if any of us are going to eat tonight.
But her heart is way kinder than mine.
And dragons? Beautiful. love, Val
This made me smile so much, aren't kids brilliant!
Yay for your wonderful creative girl! What a joy and love. :o)
A mom in our local group wrote Born to Be a Dragon (Eisley Jacobs.) My daughter is enjoying it, and I think it's the first of a series.
Her dragons are wonderful! So much personality!
Thanks, everyone. She's my sweetie. :)
Sparklee, I downloaded Born to Be a Dragon last night after reading your comment. Thanks for the recommendation! My daughter is excited since it is about a girl and a dragon and that she gets to use my Nook to read it. Lol. Looks like a fun book!
Ohh, those are lovely, Candy! Looks like she's on her way to being just as artistic as her mama. :)
Hope you're doing well.
